Curious to hear how our So Cal BOTL are planning to deal with this freeway closure impact? Was just listening

to an interview with CHP and their prognosis was NOT very good, especially for 'out of towners' and truckers who

may not be aware of the plan and schedule.

It's in Los Angeles... one of the busiest freeways in Los Angeles, the 405. There are probably more people in Los Angeles than in all of Wisconsin. It's an 8 lane freeway (4 lanes per side).

I won't be going anywhere NEAR LA.

Construction has closed lanes of the 405 off and on for more than a year, but this is the first complete shutdown. Officials say there is no other way to demolish the Mulholland Drive bridge.

At the construction site, contractors plan to lay a 6-foot bed of soil on top of the freeway to protect it from concrete chunks falling from the bridge. They plan to saw the bridge lengthwise and bring down two of its four lanes to permit construction of a longer bridge that will span a widened freeway beneath it.

Another closing will be scheduled in about a year to demolish the other side of the Mulholland bridge.

CHP estimates that 4K cars per hour pass thru that 10 mile stretch on the weekend - each way. Anticipate 5-6 hour (20 mile) backups as folks try to

navigate around the closure through the 'hood'.

Interview with CHP re-airing this morning on 95.5 KLOS radio at 7 am. PST

To make it even more exciting, there is a soccer game on Sunday ( LA Galaxy) to bring another 20K spectators into the heart of the mix.
